Around 7:45 p.m., Annapolis police said an officer ran a tag on a vehicle that came back stolen. The officer tried to initiate a traffic stop, but the driver refused the stop.

State police said the chase eventually led into Anne Arundel County and onto northbound Interstate 97. The driver eventually wrecked about a mile north of the exit for Route 32 in Millersville.

At least once person ran from the vehicle, police said. At one point, state police shut down all northbound lanes of I-97, and one southbound lane in order to investigate the accident and to set up a perimeter.

The lane closures caused a traffic backup that stretched three miles on northbound I-97.
